Working together is an everyday part of business life, and teams are increasingly seen as one of the best ways to achieve innovation and improvement. But just calling a diverse group of people a team doesn't always lead to good teamwork.

Teamwork is a concise guide to making team-based working a reality. From creating a balanced team to overcoming the problems that teams face, it will help you actively manage teamwork for better workplace harmony and increased effectiveness.

This book covers:

• how to create a team that has both purpose and diversity
• getting the right skills
• the essentials of team leadership
• solving problems and making decisions
• building and preserving team unity.

Featuring real-world examples, a clear modular structure and pointers to further reading.
